A Note from the Director of Youth Education
Now, during my first year as Director of Youth Education at Writers & Books, it is an honor to present the SummerWrite 2010 youth catalog with over 70 workshops for children and teens. We have old favorites to choose from as well as a host of new workshops. Whether it’s fiction or drama, poetry or journaling, nature writing or songwriting, we have something for everyone. Summer is a time when Rochester’s young readers and writers bring their boundless creativity to the neighborhood of the arts. There is little I find more inspiring than the energy of young writers and creators in the classrooms, on the playground, under the sun at Writers & Books. We look forward to seeing new friends and old at SummerWrite this year. In the spirit of creativity,

I wrote my first poem at age four (recorded by dictation). When I was a little older I sat on my bedroom floor in front of a manual typewriter creating an imaginary literary journal. And when I was in the 5th grade my best friend and I hid in the coat closet during math so we could write poems. In the mid-1980’s I had the great fortune of being a student in Writers & Books’ very first youth class which was taught by Wendy Low (who happens to be W&B’s former Director of Youth Education) and Valerie McPherson (who happens to be my mom). Alexa Scott-Flaherty (W&B’s Development Director) was also a student in that class.
